If....What If?

Time to review another book. Sigh. Normally I love the books I get. And I really dislike writing a book review that isn't positive. Unfortunately, I need to do just that. After all, my reviews do say that "I was given a free book in exchange for my honest review"!

I was very excited to read this book and experience it with my kids! I love the idea of devotionals and asking questions to make them think! How fun to have quirky questions and daily devotions!

First up, I read the devotional with a my ten year old. As I was reading I realized it was rather "wordy" and difficult to read.  On the positive side, there are some great questions.  We just felt that some of the content may not be written in the most easy to understand way.

Next up was to read it with my thirteen year old. She agreed that language was confusing and it just wasn't written in a way that was relevant or interesting. Once devotional talked about a Homecoming Dance. Neither my ten year old nor thirteen year old ever experienced this so it was hard to relate.

I really wanted this devotional to work out. So I picked a different one to read with my ten year old. Sadly we came to the same conclusion yet again.

This book is loaded with many devotionals and lots of great questions! It could be a starting point for some great discussions!

And, yes, I was given a free copy for my honest review!
